Reihe: Redefining More Able Education

Written by Ian Warwick, Founder of London Gifted and Talented, this rich introduction challenges our understanding of provision for the more able and empowers us to ensure all students achieve the best possible version of who they might become. Illustrated with examples of practice and offering easy-to-implement strategies, it unpicks keys issues including the history of more able education, international contexts, IQ and character, developing independent learners, motivating students, setting and differentiation, working with marginalized groups, the impact of poverty, and the role of parents. It is an essential, challenging introduction for all education professionals.
